The Warriors is a 1979 film directed by Walter Hill about a gang fighting their way back home after being framed for the assassination of a gang leader. It is set primarily in New York City with a final scene taking place in Coney Island. It is based on the 1965 novel The Warriors by Sol Yurick. It also spawned a videogame of the same name in 2005.

Although the film uses real locations, it is an urban fable and not a realistic portrayal of contemporary New York City street life. The gangs are dressed in matching flamboyant uniforms, usually with a recognizable theme, which gives the film a comic book feel.
